Wellington Ballet & Dance Classes
Welcome to Wellington Dance, a children's dance studio in Thorndon, Wellington, focused on inspiring your child's small steps and big dreams!
At Wellington Dance, your child will be welcomed and gracefully guided from their very first class.
Encouraged by a team of teachers who praise each little step and nurture every big dream, your child will learn to listen, focus, embrace stillness and express their personality through movement.
Choose from convenient weekday, Saturday or Sunday classes, at one of our three dance studio locations in the Wellington area – Thorndon, Seatoun, and Khandallah.
Your dancer will make new friends in our Wellington Dance preschool, junior, grades or senior schools. As they progress through their own special dance journey, our team will suggest inspiring ways for them to develop their confidence and skills, such as performing on stage, team-building social events, trying new styles of dance or joining a dance team.
Our dream is for every student to experience performing a beautiful graduation solo to mark their achievement at the end of their school years!
